    Can anyone recommend a video capture card, including drivers, that
is known to work in Win98SE?  I recently purchased on eBay a no-name
capture card (with Philips SAA7134 chip) whose seller's system
requirements included Win98, but I could not get the supplied drivers, or
any I could find on the Web, to install in Win98SE; they appeared to be
designed only for Win2000 and XP.

    Also, please suggest any other newsgroups where this question is
likely to be answered.

Any ATI Radeon All in Wonder video card will have Win-98 drivers and
will perform video capture.

If you have a video camera or cam-corder that has fire-wire, you might
be able to feed a video signal into the video-in of the camera and
send the video stream to a PC in real time via the fire-wire
interface.

Philips' datasheet for the SAA7134 chip ...

http://www.nxp.com/acrobat/datasheets/SAA7134HL_4.pdf
http://www.nxp.com/pip/SAA7134HL_V1.html

... states that "Windows 98 Device access is contained with a
kernel-mode Windows Driver Model (WDM) driver. The capture
driver interface is also kernel-mode WDM". It goes on to say that "the
[Win ME/2K/XP] driver is binary-compatible with the Windows 98
driver".

You may be able to identify the card's manufacturer by its FCC ID:
https://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/oet/cf/eas/reports/GenericSearch.cfm

Otherwise, if it is a PCI card, then search for its Vendor and Device
IDs at the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Enum\PCI

Post back here, or use PCItree to identify your device:
http://www.pcitree.de/

Otherwise here is a possible generic driver:

130_PCI_2_3_1_1/Xpert_TV7134_TV7133_TV7130_PCI_2_3_1_1/get10813.html

    Thank you for this information.  Unfortunately, I have already
returned the card for refund, and am now looking for another type that I
can install without such complications.  I don't think it even had an FCC
ID number on it.
